Ok, this is the cake i just finished today. Not bad, but I don't know how to get the fondant not to crease on the sides. Any suggestions out there?

The cake is my mom's recipe for pound cake. A 6 inch on top and 9 inch on bottom, 4 inch in height for both so I torted 2 cakes together (see... I'm learning the lingo). I used whipped cream instead of icing because I found the icing to be sooooo sweet and sugary! OMG, I'm going to become a diabetic if I keep making and eating cakes. Ok, let's just make them and give them away!

BTW, whipped cream is a b*tch to deal with. It squeezes out when you roll the fondant on. Anyways, going to try something else next time. The cricut cake works well with gumpaste, I have had good and bad moments with using fondant though...

The thing with the Cricut Cake. It's not easy to use, I mean I cut the decorations out of gum paste but the branches are out of brown fondant. Really tough, either too gooey or too brittle.
